The oil & gas industry is using the war in Ukraine to push for new drilling, and our government is listening. We need all MPs to speak up against new oil and gas fields.
Last year we stopped Cambo, this year the UK government and industry is pushing back. And they're using the disaster in Ukraine to do so. We need to convince all MPs to speak out against all new oil and gas fields and put pressure on Boris Johnson to invest in the real solutions to the crisis: mass investments in green energy, retrofitting homes and the installation of millions of heat pumps.
Opening up new oil and gas fields is completely incompatible with limiting global heating to the Paris Agreement target of 1.5C and will further exacerbate the climate crisis we're already seeing all around the world. New North Sea oil and gas production won't lower bills. It'll just increase the industry's already massive profits and drive us further into climate breakdown.
New fields are a dangerous distraction when we should be cutting our energy bills, ending our reliance on Russian oil and tackling the climate crisis with clean, renewable energy and supporting a just transition led by oil & gas workers, their unions and impacted communities.
